However, they have fallen behind in the electric vehicle market, with a market share of only 5% and the absence of their models among the ten best-selling electric vehicles. In view of the Chinese electric car sales share of already 25%, the German manufacturers have signalled alarm mood at the auto show in Shanghai. VW has announced that it will accelerate its electrification strategy for the Chinese market, while Audi and Mercedes are looking to expand their range of vehicles. The German manufacturers are struggling to compete with the Chinese providers in terms of offer, price and software development. VW is investing one billion euros in a new Chinese center for development, innovation and procurement to develop fully connected electric cars.<\/p>        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n    <div  class=\"zw-cgb  textblock black-color zw-content-pos-center  default-margin \">\n      <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"zw-cgb-content col-12 g-0\">\n          <h2 class=\"zw-cgb headline \"><strong><strong>The struggle over software and equipment problems<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2><p class=\" zw-cgb fulltext \">German car manufacturers are lagging behind the competition in software and car connectivity, which leads to shortcomings in the equipment. For example, Volkswagen struggled with software issues in 2022, despite bringing in external software service providers. To cope with the lack of resources, manufacturers should refrain from developing their own infotainment systems in the face of competition from smartphone apps and systems such as Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. In contrast, Ferrari has already understood and has not installed its own navigation system in the new &#8220;Purosangue&#8221;, but only CarPlay and Android Auto.<\/p>        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n\n\r\n    <div  class=\"zw-cgb  intern-zitat-style  zitat-block black-color default-margin default-padding \">\r\n      <div class=\"row zitat-row\">\r\n        <div class=\" image-container g-0 order-1  col-menu-5 col-12 \">\r\n          <a href=\"https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/en\/team-en\/stefan-randak\/\">          <div class=\"img-with-gradient\">\r\n\r\n            <span class=\"copyright-image\"><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"atreus_\" src=\"https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/ran-st-v1.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/ran-st-v1.png 555w, https:\/\/www.atreus.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/ran-st-v1-480x600.png 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" style=\"aspect-ratio:555\/694 !important\" title=\"atreus_\">            <div class=\"linear-gradient-container\"><\/div>\r\n          <\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n          <div class=\"zitat-img-text-container\"><div class=\"zitat-name-container fulltext\"><span>Stefan  Randak<\/span><\/div><div class=\"zitat-discription-container fulltext\"><span>Partner and Head of Solution Group Automotive &#038; Mobility<\/span><\/div><\/div>          <\/a>        <\/div>\r\n        <div class=\"g-0 zitat-text-container order-2 col-menu-7 col-12 \">\r\n          <div class=\"zitat-text\"><span class=\"zitat-start-icon atreus-font\">D<\/span><p class=\"zw-cgb fulltext\">\u201eThe extended workbench in Germany is increasingly breaking apart.\u201c<\/p><\/div>                  <\/div>\r\n\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\n\n\n    <div  class=\"zw-cgb  textblock black-color zw-content-pos-center  default-margin \">\n      <div class=\"row\">\n        <div class=\"zw-cgb-content col-12 g-0\">\n          <h2 class=\"zw-cgb headline \"><strong><strong>German supplier industry in danger<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2><p class=\" zw-cgb fulltext \">While the car manufacturers in Germany were able to increase their sales and earnings, things are looking increasingly bleak for the supplier industry: The average margin is only 0 to 5%, and many companies are getting into difficulties due to the change in their product portfolio and the discontinuation of engine development.
